A boys' name to rival Huckleberry

A friend at work has a little boy called Huckleberry (known as Huck).

I LOVE it but obviously can't copy it, as it's SO unique.

Can anyone think of any 'similarly' out-there but cute/cool names for boys?? Ds2 is due in the summer and I am struggling with an awesome, strong, interesting, unique name for him.

Interested in names from nature, literature, don't mind surnames-as-forenames in some cases...just something that stands out a bit from the kings and saints...

I DONT like: the trend for old-man names, or boys' names that sound too soft/feminine (I would put things like Robin, Caspar into this camp).

Help! Any ideas! What's the most awesome boys name you've ever heard??

Orson.

Inspired by the innovative creator of Citizen Kane (amongst other great works). Sounds a bit like Awesome, which is pretty cool too.

Brimfull a friend has a son called Holden. For the rest of the day after I've seen her I can't get 'I'm Holden out for a hero' out of my head

Or a name that won't haunt him for life?

Willoughby.

I think it's a good strong name and can be shortened to Will if kid wants to be more 'normal'.

OP, if you are hoping they'll be friends and have adventures together, perhaps you should consider Finn? Just a thought.
